"Canada past'° ." Canada present,'„
'and " Canada ifuture," Under the.
first heading he sketched the history of
Canada from its discovery up to the
present trtmes touching 'upon .all] lead
incl• ovents, and clearly tracing its.
social- and: political progress,, Under'
the second .heading•he dwelt chiefly
upon .:its geographical position, size,
shape, sell, climate and • natural'. re,
sources. Its .position, he said,. was.
in a northern latitude, in consequence
of which we are frequently :designated'.
by our squthern neighbors as the fru
zeta north. 'Tie sizeis a trifle larger
than the,..United States,its '.shape is.
somewhat long and narrow,; its soil 'is"
rich and 'productive, its climate, though
"subject to extremes, is healthful: and
invigorating and its natural resourses,
if fully deveJ ,ped • are second to no
other uatien in.the world.. The, rivers
and lakes team, with fish, its coati •
alines are' inexhaustible and its forests
abound with valuable timbers. Under;
the third heading he said that• the time,
was not far distant when the relations'.
of Canade'to'the MVlother Country will
be changed." Mena' minds are .being:
awakened to' the fact,, ' ,and it is the
duty .of every Canadian to give the
matter careful Consideration. • The
three, main; propositions..whieh• present,

Great., Britain and all her, .colonies
would exercise free trade 'between
thetnselhes to £he. exclusion of `al.l
